He actually said this? What a terrible take.

 

 

 

Tbh I agree with all of that. Apart from the Wilson bit but that sounds like a stream of consciousness thing rather than him genuinely wishing our only decent striker gets injured :lol:

 

I'd love Maddison at NUFC but I'd be shocked if it happens. Yes the owners seem competent now blah blah blah, but they seem to have balked at fees abroad then bid well below asking price in the famously expensive PL market for a well established player who is of a famously expensive nationality. 

 

The only way it makes sense is if it gets done, or if we're not throwing too much at it in terms of resources that could be focusing on other players. Otherwise it was an odd one when it surfaced and still seems an odd one now.

It’s not just hope tho, almost every journo who reports on newcastle have spoke about this budget. Douglas, edwards, hope, Waugh, downie and graves. Are they all making it up or have they been briefed ?

Interesting to learn that. He hated Michael Edwards at LFC. Used his media mates to ramp up the pressure against LFC transfer committee. Tried to get them replaced but FSG stood firm on that aspect. It got really weird his penultimate season when he started playing Edwards signings out of their position to make them look bad - Firmino at right wing, Emre Can at right back. 

 

I really rate Rodgers football acumen. But it is interesting to see that the same issues are continuing. 

 

 

It's because he's a massive prick regardless of his football acumen.

I think one thing sums him up. The physio we had was part of the furniture, widely respected, excellent at his job, but not a yes man. We had an amazing injury record pre Rodgers, he clearly disagreed with Rodgers methods and got bombed out. Since then out injury record has been a disgrace. We’ve swapped club docs about three times, as Rodgers doesn’t seem to accept his methods are the issue.

 

Now repeat that in most departments and areas of the club.

I know people are probably sick of hearing about Paqueta since we have never had a serious link with him, but I always thought that was because we weren't really in the market for an AM. But we know his club will sell if the price is right, so if we are talking about £60m, would that not be worth asking the question? There are rumours that if City sell Bernardo Silva they will move for Paqueta, but what's to stop us chucking in a bid and seeing if he'll bite?

I’ll keep an open mind but as someone said hope was spot on with the lawyer appointment and the Carrick brother appointment why wouldn’t he know about transfers. 

 

You don't see a difference in player transfers and lawyer/U18s-coach appointment? Of course Hope gets told some things. I promise this is the last time I say this this summer but we would be absolutely fucking braindead if we were telling the press exact numbers about what we are planning to do in the transfer market. Give me one good reason for letting the whole world know truthfully how much we are going to spend in a transfer window?

Posts like this are why it’s really worthwhile having educated fans of other teams on the forum. Been plenty of bollocks spouted about Leicester on this thread due to people getting precious about a Leicester forum - then you get insight like this that I’d garner 99% of us had no idea about but that gives visibility to some of the frustration for Leicester fans, and also empathy to the number of managers we have had follow this same path in the last god knows how many decades, then the frustration we have felt when other fans have discounted those frustrations.

:thup: The spiky responses this guy has been getting have been annoying. He seems knowledgeable and reasonable, would rather read his posts than ones from our own fans bragging about our new found wealth etc.

I signed up to that Leicester forum yesterday and made a post about their expected points last season that was really complimentary about Leicester as a club. Was met with a torrent of abuse before my post got deleted and I was banned right away. Got legit angry ( :lol: ) as some of the best posters here are fans of other clubs and it's always interesting to read things from their perspective.

Sounds like they didn’t like your Pata, hahahahahah.

 

Joking aside, forums can be such weird places with really similar social dynamics to the real world where people are exclusionary and aggressive illogically. This forum was led by a bit more of an iron fist by Dave but it’s always been fairly welcoming to even a lot of shit posters. Getting a ban only happens after a pretty high threshold

Yeah, but when some of our own fans have pointed out the same failings of the egomaniac Brenda Rodgers they get some pretty spiky responses.

Its pretty basic. I can slag off my club but if a fan of some other club slags off my club I'll get arsey.

How is slagging off Brendan Rodgers slagging off my club?
